Ryan Academy Middle School Information

​Kevin Wright

Welcome to the middle school English and social studies academic page.  On this page you will find a digital copy of the spelling lists for 5th-8th grade, as well as information regarding quizzes, tests, etc.  This page will be updated once a week (usually on a Monday or Friday, with the exception of holidays/school breaks).  Please note that most of the information on this page will also be written in student planners, which are updated on a daily basis. 

Study guides for social studies will be sent home with students in a paper format.  If your student loses a study guide, it is his/her responsibility to ask for another copy as soon as possible (if a student loses their study guide the night before a quiz/test it may be too late for them to receive another copy).  Some study guides may also be available digitally, depending on the content.  I recommend that students begin studying for quizzes/tests as soon as possible.  By doing this, students will have ample time to study and ask any questions that they may have during class. 

​Students will always receive a minimum of 2 days to study for a quiz/test, but will often receive more time (the only exceptions are quizzes/tests that are not able to be studied for ahead of time, such as reading quizzes, etc.).  For example, a student will not be given a study guide on a Monday and asked to take a test the next day (Tuesday).  For a study guide given out on a Monday, the earliest a student would have a quiz/test would be Wednesday of that week.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at kevinwright@ryanacademy.org, and my email address will also be written on the cover of student planners during the first week of the school year.  I will respond to your emails as soon as possible.
